Ryan Boatright Returns Home for DePaul Game, But One Special Fan Will be Missing

Ryan Boatright returns to his "hometown" on Saturday night as UConn faces DePaul at AllState Arena. Boatright was born and raised in Aurora, Ill., about 30 minutes west of Chicago. This will be his first time playing in the Windy City as a collegian (though he has played in nearby Milwaukee and South Bend, Ind. already this season).

She added: “All I tell him all the time: ‘I was your
mom before you ever put a number on. So, no matter where you go in life, I’m
always gonna be you’re No. 1 fan.’ All I do is support him and tell him,
wherever you go, I’m with you. I just want him to choose what’s best for him.
It’s about him being happy.”
